Mariah Carey Just Officially Ushered Out Spooky Season—And You Know What That Means

Mariah Carey Just Officially Ushered Out Spooky Season—And You Know What That Means

The 'All I Want for Christmas' singer finally declared 'it's time' at the stroke of midnight on November 1 with a festive video.

With Halloween already fading into the mist behind us, the next major holiday season is ready to take over.

And there was no one better, or well-suited, to usher in the Christmas season than the legendary pop icon, Mariah Carey.


While the five-time Grammy Award-winning artist is known for her best-selling self-titled 1990 debut album Mariah and others like Music Box (1993), and Daydream (1995), there is one record that is at the top of everyone's list this time of year.

That perennial classic is 1994's Merry Christmas, which included covers of traditional favorites as well as original earworms such as "All I Want for Christmas Is You"–which went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time.

She recently used the song on Instagram to officially announce:

"IT’S TIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!!"

The brilliant clip started out in black and white featuring Carey decked in full-on witch garb.

But since this is 2022 and flying brooms are so passé, she has ditched the mode of transport in favor of a Peloton bike.

She pedaled through the eerie landscape on the stationary exercise bike with a basket in front–a nod to Margaret Hamilton's Almira Gulch and her counterpart, the wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.

She menacingly cackled away as the creepy music suddenly transitioned into...this.


The blowing leaves gave way to gently falling snow, revealing the singer in the red and white Santa-inspired outfit she wore for the holiday album cover nearly 30 years ago.

As the celebratory "All I Want For Christmas Is You" played in the clip, Carey's signature high-pitched whistle register indicated it was finally time to inject some merriment and mirth into the world.

It's official, the Christmas Queen has arrived.

And with that, social media users lost it.

Uproxx noted that the 1994 holiday favorite, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1 during each of the past three seasons and in each of the past four separate years (2019 to 2022).

And with the song already appearing in the top 40 on iTunes as of November 1, there is no doubt Carey is here to stay for years to come.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
